i thing tanki is dying because of this "good mach making system" remove it or tanki WILL suck 

[dilberts 1]

So here's what I think after playing for a day.

 

1. The group idea isn't too bad, but needs to be more advanced and have more customization.

 

 

2. The battle options are just bad. I'm sorry but as of right now they are. It needs to be updated with filters where you can choose the maps you would like to play on, and the maximum rank of player that you want to play against.That way there are not too many imbalances in rank, and if not choosing the actual map you want, you have some random selections to work with.

 

 

3. The Missions button should go back where it was. Or at least have the star back in it's place when you're in a battle. It's hard to keep track of your progress on missions when you can't pull up the info inside the match.

 

 

4. The Battle list is alright, maybe a non-pro list can be added as well like before in addition to the matchmaking

system we have now. It's nice to browse what battles are available, and if the idea of filtering your options in the battle system is added, then I could really get into having my preferences locked in and having the game do the searching.

   

For example. If I wanted a specific battle, I would click one of the buttons ( CTF, CP, DM ) that would

open a window where I could then adjust the max and min rank of players in the game, (maybe like the slider for creating matches) and then select types of maps I would like, say...Sandal, Sandbox, Serpuhov, and Bridges.

Then I could confirm the options and it would then bring up the waiting page it has now, and now the game will try to find one of these maps with the rank constraints. As it is now, I have no idea what equipment to use in a battle if I don't know what map I'm playing.

 

 

I think those are all my thoughts on the update. Keep it going.

Omg, i think this is update is more bad than good for the game. I just tested the system and i didnt like it. So unfair, it increased my lag, the waiting time for join into a battle, in summary, without intentions to offend the work of developers, this is one of the worst update in the game, this will destroy tanki online. PLEASE DON´T IMPLEMENT THIS UPDATE PLEASEEE!!!

Come back old tanki, we miss you  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

AlternativaPlatform(the company who made this game) has just put things to this game all of a sudden in a snap without  thinking twice on how people will feel and most of the time no one likes the ideas and need to ask people if its a good idea first.

[Mario3108 462]

Hmm. I could have sworn they were trying to move us to TX. I know that the mods have said TX was supposed to have all the broken/underdeveloped parts of TO fixed.

 

Mods? I don't know if you meant 'Developers' instead... but if you were talking about a mod, they are not in charge of the development of the game, so what you heard could've been only an obviously wrong opinion of one of them.

Tanki X needs an even more powerful computer. Do you think that Tanki X has more players??

I would prefer to keep some control over a) battle map; b) selecting battle based on size of teams; c) ranks of other players; and d) time remaining in a battle.

 

It is difficult to meet a mission requirement of 1st place if you cannot enter a battle early.

 

Without choice on the above matters, I do not like matchmaking system trial.

 

Maybe allow choice of prior system for some servers, and provide matchmaking on maybe half of servers?

 

Thx.

I like to pick my own servers & battles - otherwise some just will not load and I get kicked off for inactivity

DESPITE THE FACT I NEVER GOT TO PLAY IN THAT BATTLE.

 

I've spent a lot of money (to me) on this game and have enjoyed it but this Matchmaking crap has to go.

[NastyCaptKlutz 20]

Mmm, not good, can't play on a map suited to my playing style and I seem to be against higher ranked players. Some maps are new and too big, my ping has doubled. I was quite happy with the servers the way they were before you merged all the European ones as well.. I'm on the point of looking for another game

My suggestions:

 

- Make battles 8 vs 8 to reduce lag issues, I said this loooong ago.

 

- Start battles with 6 vs 6 to not have long waits, then go up to 8 while balancing teams based on rank and activity.

 

- Rewards should be 60% for the winning team and 40% for the losing team, but distribution in the old style.

 

- Return to the old Rio and create a new Polygon for 8 vs 8, the new Polygon feels overworked.

 

- Eliminate Crystal Missions, Finish 1st Missions, and make more missions based on Experience Points.

 

- Custom Passes from 100 crystals for Recruits to 1000 for Legends for 100 hours of play, this to boost the numbers of Matchmaking players.

 

- Break the Legend rank in up to 5 ranks: L1 = New L1; L2 and L3 = New L 2; then L4-L7 as New L3; then  L8-L15 as New L4; then L16 to L31 as New L5; and then L32 and up as Addictissimo (with a reward of 1 paid session at the nearest addiction centre)

 

- Friends should not play against friends, this allows multing. Friends should automatically become part of Groups.

 

- And Groups should not fight against Randoms, unless there are Groups in both sides.

 

Remaining problems:

 

- I don't know how are you gonna solve the issue with players that only have one combo that doesn't work in all maps.

Tanki X is a total mess with so few players there are long times during the day with no battles at all. The more you rank the fewer the players until you get to a point where battles are empty and the battle list was showing 0 players. I think the purpose of matchmaking was to cover that up.

[Skills.n.Girls 767]

Noticed a map, Yorkshire, when I was playing a MM battle (which is, by the way, New Year's map re-designed).

It cannot be created by the normal user through creation of the battles (custom battles).

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

Bozo loves Matchmaking because he was replying in this topic all day.

Remove the stupid update... It's the worst update i've ever saw in tanki online

[ollooIIo 24]

Also, in addition to a previous reply that i wrote and what many other mentioned, I didn't see anyone talk about the fact that the concept of "friends" became obsolete with this update. Now I cannot join a battle that my friends are in. Was that on purpose?

 

I really hope that the developers are reading the replies and taking them into consideration. This update is very limiting and doesn't really make any sense. The best matchmaking is the one done by the players themselves.

 

Please cancel this update.

 

Thank you

Click the 'Battle list' button.

Click 'Create' and select from the options presented to you (No pro pass needed)

Click 'Start'

Invite your friends (if you have any)

I don't know if this new battle thing is where you chose  if you want capture the flag, deathmatch, etc is the matchmaker, but it sucks! get rid of it please and go back to how you used to be able to select a battle. This new way is bad go back, because I'm done with tanki as it now is terrible. 

[haplessly 0]

Actually, expanding on my previous comment, I have gone through several battles and am wondering how it is fair to have a corporal in the same battle as a marshal?  Basically, in one of the battles, there was a marshal that was just hanging out killing every opponent as they regenerated and any shot didn't phase him probably as he had fully upgraded his tank.  For him it was just a slaughter fest.  Again, how is this fair?

 

Yes, previously I acknowledged that I pick and choose the map that I play on to match the equipment that I have.  I pick and choose my battles to ensure that I potentially could be in the top of the score board of the battle.  That said, often, I am not.

 

Something should be done to ensure battles are fair, but this system is not very fair. 

[Daver451 4]

Find the new map additions enjoyable....but wait times to get into battles seem to get longer...then when battle is joined can't finish mission for coming in first.

 

I am a not so fast player with my hands (arthritis) so I look for battles with my rank and lower...but cant tell anymore until in the battle

 

so if we could see ranks it would help for knowing if I have a chance to come in first

 

Thanks for keeping things interesting

 

cheers

"Avarage waiting time"

Well it's all swings and roundabouts then isn't it because I was quoted 58s for a battle but waited only a couple of seconds before joining.

[flipflop2000 1]

just spent 90 minutes trying to play Tanki. Had 2 games, the first lasted 9 minutes the second lasted 3 minutes.

The Preparing for Battle stats are utterly useless, why tell me how many people are in the queue, just tellme how many people are in front of me. What is the average wait time about? is it the average over the whole hour, day, week or month?

Please please please remove this trial as I will now have broken my chain.

Will TANKI compensate me for my lost bonus due to failed trial, as I cannot even get to play a full game let alone play enough to complete any of my missions.

[The_God_Delusion 0]

I do NOT like the matchmaking, which is disappointing, because I thought it sounded like a really good idea until I tried it. 

 

Instead, I think you should create a system where ALL battles appear in the battle list regardless of server origin, and you could create a background matchmaking system to give suggestions for the best battles a player should join. 

 

A third, and in my mind - BEST - option, would be to have a single battle list as I mentioned that includes all battles from all servers, and then have a SORT function, where one can set the parameters for what kind of battles they want to sort by. You already have the sort function for battle type (CTF vs TDM vs DM vs CP), now you just need to add the ability to sort by average player rank/difficulty. Then the list should automatically display almost-full battles at the top, and would encourage you to join these first.

This update is even worse than Overdrive!!

5 minute wait to play 30 seconds in a battle, what a complete waste of time.

Please get rid of this after 48 hours and never bring it back in any form!

I no longer spend money on this game because you continue to make major changes without consulting or having a vote. No players means no wages!

Please bring back the EN servers at least then i can chat to players during the game.

Please have a vote on Overdrive most players seem to prefer the game as it was before!

I like the new maps but now i seem to have lag issues, is that a coincidence.

108 pages tells you how bad the players feel about Matchmaking listen to them before you lose them

[Pyre 3,485]

All in all its good, but I think it would be nice to have the option to choose Large, Medium or Small maps. That way you dont get stuck using Freeze-Dictator on a highways CTF(Trust me, its not fun...)
